The problem is figuring out which report the subsequent discussion is
for or whether it's a new report. If it includes the bug number in the
header, everything happens automatically.[1] If it doesn't, the BTS
assumes you're creating a new report.
It may be that the right way to do things is to intercept new messages
to address@hidden, send them first to the bug tracking system,
and send the maintainer messages to the address@hidden mailing
list, so that replies are dealt with correctly.... but I don't think
that's something that we want to set up until the maintainers are
reasonably sure that debbugs is good enough for now.

address@hidden
